    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Dentistry

    Background:

    • Dental anxiety is a common issue affecting patient attendance and treatment.
    • Understanding patient cognitions is crucial for managing dental fear.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between dental anxiety, attendance patterns, and patient cognitions.
    • To explore the cognitive factors contributing to the maintenance of dental anxiety.

    Main Methods:

    • 146 dental patients completed questionnaires assessing anxiety and cognitions.
    • Analysis of attendance patterns (regular vs. irregular) in relation to anxiety levels.

    Main Results:

    • Anxiety levels and attendance patterns correlated with perceptions of negative dental events.

  • Highly anxious patients perceived positive outcomes as less likely.
  • Irregular attenders showed higher anxiety due to anticipated extensive treatment, not generalized fear.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cognitive factors play a significant role in maintaining dental anxiety, even after positive experiences.
    • A cognitive approach can inform effective treatments for dental anxiety.
